with mirror type glass film
– Where it overlaps with genuine radio
antenna (pattern)
– Where it overlaps with window heating
wires
– At side of vehicle (e.g. door, front quarter
window)

■ Use cord clamper cto secure the antenna to the pillar at several locations.
■ The direction of the antenna film Achanges depending on whether the film antenna Ais
installed on the right side or left side.
■ Separate the antenna film Afrom the ceramic line (black part) at the top of the front glass by
150 mm.
Also, place it about 70 mm inside the ceramic line at the side end of the front glass. (where the
earth sheet of the amplifier can be pasted on the metal part of the front pillar)
■ Separate from other antennas by at least 100 mm.
■ Do not paste the amplifier Bon the ceramic line (black part) around the front glass. Because
there is not enough adhesion.
■ Select the DAB antenna power is set to “ON”
